It’s already the New Year and the holiday season is almost over. Which means, you’ve only got one day left, today, to do something with that half-jug of eggnog lingering near the back of the fridge before it either curdles or turns into another sad reminder of your post-Christmas ineffectiveness. You know, like that dead, brown, decorated tree over there in the corner.
But don’t think you’re alone in this … We’ve got some leftover creamy, eggy stuff kicking around our kitchen, too. And so did the Urbanite Bistro until we helped them clear the shelves by ordering a tall dose of their Naughty Noggin ($12) yesterday.
Now, maybe you’re hesitant about eggnog on New Year’s day … Well, don’t be — this drink is an ideal, stomach-coating recovery shot after last night’s celebratory overdrinking. Not to mention, it’s way easy to duplicate at home. So this afternoon whenever you manage to crawl out of bed, crawl a little farther to the kitchen and mix an ounce of both Maker’s Mark bourbon and Atlantico rum into that half-jug.
Or, if you’re brimming with ambition and energy, you could go all purist on us, like the Urbanite, and prepare a batch of homemade nog from scratch. Find a recipe here … But we’re warning you, there’s gonna be leftovers.
